Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.
But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

How are you transferring these files? I understand it's less convenient but could you maybe take the sd card out and plug it into a laptop instead?

WIFI. Way, way more convenient (before this BS) than taking out the SD card.
But this goes beyond just transferring images. If I wanted to use live view, I have to use the app. If I want to geotag photos, I have to use the app.
None of those features require Canon's servers, so it's infuriating that I have to "log in" for this nonsense.
So pulling out the SD card works?
I would hope/assume so. If they ever decided to encrypt the SD card and force you to use the app to decrypt it, I would throw their products against the wall.
